The Congressman's ignorance

This is too much.If the government won’t be a voice of reason, I’ll have to.That’s better.I’m surprised you good legislators have agreed to move this hearing forward.You’re falling prey to a type of argument from ignorance:assuming that a claim is true because it hasn’t been proven false.The claim being Senator McCarthy’s accusations against Judge Kenyon,for which he provided no legitimate evidence.Is that right? I thought so.
